Women as Drummers.
ALBANY Argus.l


A few years since when the bu.
uness community Was startled by
the innovation Of women as travel.
Ing salesmen, il was argued that
they would not be a success, as
they could not oil the many social
obligations required to sell large
amounts. An experience of two
or three years, however, has given
the matter an entirely different
aspect. 1t is found that the lady
drummer makes an impression on
the country merchant, especially
In the West, where the male men,
bers OF the fraternity would fail.
A commercial man of large expe.
rienco says the merchants will
hold their orders for the lady
drummers, even though q dozen
OF his sex offer and beg to fill them
on advantageous terms.
Again, they are always in need
OF something when the lady drum
NOR calls, while with the man it Ii
more often nothing to-day" The
success Of the women drummeri
10 much moro marked with tn,
merchants of the opposite SO,
than with their own. Women il
trade do not usually take kindl.
TO women as commercial travellers
and II has been suggested that ii
the future, when everything i
"down fne," women will be em
ployed exclusively to sell to th,
men and the men to take ORDER
from the women in trade ; but a
only q small proportion of mer
chants and traders are Of the gen

that day comes, il 1t ever does, til,
ladies will have q practical mo

then lnd something else to do.

Important Invention.

A Washington special OF Friday
slludes as follows to on alleged In.
vention, OF which notice has oil.
ready been made By us:
Two Kentuckiana-one of them
q blacksmith-recontly called at
the Navy Department and an.
nounced that they had discovered
new process of tempering steel.
They did not dlvulge the nature OF
tho invention further than to inti-
mate that it related to the chemi-
cal bath in which the tool 10 i'm.
mersed in the tempering process.
They asserted that by their meth.
ods OF treatment the oommonest
grades of metals, such as shear or
cast steel, could be so tempered
as to fally equal the best grades
Of tool steel. An ordinary pair of
cheap cast steel scissors could be
treated, without disconnecting the
blades, so as to cut and hold an
edge as we'll MS the beat English
tool steel shears. An experiment
was made on the blade OF Secre.
tary Whitney's pocket.knife, with
the result that it wac possible to
cut er whiitle on ordinary steel
key without apparent injury to the
blade. Moreover, the results Of
the treatment are asserted to be
40 under control that it is possible
to temper steel to any degree of
hardness or toughness that may
be required by the use for which
1t is intended. SO impressed was
the Secretary by the claimo Of the
inventors, that, after consultation
with the Chief Of the Bureau of
Ordinance, he decided to permit
the process to be tested at the
Washington Navy Yark. Com
missioner Slcard accordingly or.
dered specimen bars Of steel to be
prepared, and the experiments

Mr.. Tulane's ancestors lived in

settled in Princeton, where the
family lived for many years. 1t
was there that Mr.. Paul Tulane
was born, being the youngest of
three sons. He was always reti.
cent as to his age, so that il is i'm.
possible to say when he was born,
though his friends think he was
born about the first year of the
century. He came to New Or.
leans from Princeton, in 1918, ar.
rivlng here on horseback. Not
satisfied with the place he pushed
on further to the Northwest, which

1920 and opened q general mer.
ohandise store. Within eight years

He continued IN business until
he was near seventy years OF age,
retiring from business with an
ample fortune. He left New Or.
leans seventeen years ago and re.
turned to Princeton, where he has
been living ever since, hln house
beng = magnificent place about
half mile from the town.
Mr.. Iulane contributed 10 the
support Of Princeton University,
though not in sympathy with its
Oalvanistic religion. He also pro
vided the poor Of tho town with
coal and wood during the winter
and contributed g fund for thu
cemetery there, where many dis
tinguished people are buried. II,
contributed at various times L
charitable institutions in New Or
leans, among them the Little Sis
ters of the Poor.
But Mr.. Tulanc's great donation
was to the Tulane University o
New Orleans, amounting to OIL
100000, in real estate, bonds, etc
About one.fourth Of this consist
